Abstract

Introduction: Changes in climatic conditions and advancements in artificial turf products, particularly over the past two decades, have resulted in artificial turf becoming a popular choice for many sports. To date, players’ perceptions and epidemiological studies of injuries on artificial turf have been undertaken in soccer and rugby but no published work exists in Australian football or cricket. Perceived increased injury risk has been identified as a barrier to the adoption of artificial turf surfaces. The aim of this research was to ascertain Australian football and cricket players’ perceptions of the nature and severity of injuries on artificial turf compared to natural grass.
